Epigenetic regulation is involved in numerous physiological and pathogenic processes. Among the key regulators that orchestrate epigenetic signaling are over 50 human protein lysine methyltransferases (PKMTs). Interrogation of the functions of individual PKMTs can be facilitated by target-specific PKMT inhibitors. Given the emerging need for such small molecules, we envisioned an approach to identify target-specific methyltransferase inhibitors by screening privileged small-molecule scaffolds against diverse methyltransferases. In this work, we demonstrated the feasibility of such an approach by identifying the inhibitors of SETD2. N-propyl sinefungin (Pr-SNF) was shown to interact preferentially with SETD2 by matching the distinct transition-state features of SETD2's catalytically active conformer. With Pr-SNF as a structure probe, we further revealed the dual roles of SETD2's post-SET loop in regulating substrate access through a distinct topological reconfiguration. Privileged sinefungin scaffolds are expected to have broad use as structure and chemical probes of methyltransferases.

Sinefungin (1) a nucleoside antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces has been synthesized from D-ribose. Both the C-6 and C-9 stereogenic centers were constructed by efficient asymmetric syntheses. The C-6 amine stereochemistry was set by a highly diastereoselective allylation (> 99% de) of a (1S,2R)-1-amino-2-indanol-derived oxazolidinone 9 followed by a Curtius rearrangement of 11 to 12. The C-9 amino acid stereochemistry of sinefungin (1) was established by a rhodium chiral bisphosphine-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of an α-(acylamino)acrylate derivative. The anomeric adenosylation of the mixture of anomeric acetates 20 in the presence of C-6 urethane NH was found to be extremely difficult. Conversion of the C-6 urethane NH as its N-benzyl derivative 21 was necessary prior to the adenosylation reaction. Successful adenosylation was effectively carried out by Vorbruggen's protocol utilizing persilylated N6-benzoyladenine and trimethylsilyl triflate.
